Leda Anne Cote, 76, of Lake Havasu City, passed away peacefully with her
life partner, Layne Walker and family members, by her side, on Aug. 9,
2022 after a long battle with cancer.

Born in Ridgecrest, California, she was raised in Tehachapi, California.
She left home in 1960 to attend high school in Sunland, California at
the Preparatory Institute of Notre Dame. After high school she moved to
St. Louis and joined the convent, School Sisters of Notre Dame. While in
the convent, she went to Notre Dame College and earned a BA degree in
music. She taught music in various Catholic schools after graduating
college. After fourteen years she left the convent. She did many things
in her life. She worked as a nanny, a computer programmer, and an H&R
Block tax agent.

She worked in a pizzeria in Vancouver, WA before moving to Havasu in
2003. She joined the Desert Singles club and met many people who became
good friends. Most of us knew her as an artist, a dancer, and a dance
teacher. Anne loved to try new things and was always looking for a new
idea. Creative and talented, she was always working on at least a couple
of projects. Everything she touched turned into something beautiful. She
was loved by everyone who met her and she will be missed by many.

Anne's Celebration of Life Party will be Friday Nov. 4, 10 a.m. to 2
p.m. at Rotary Park Ramada B. From the south restrooms and skate park
walk on the sidewalk going north. Ramada B is just beyond the wooden
foot bridge. Coming from the two north parking lots walk on the sidewalk
going south. Ramada B is roughly between the north and south restrooms.
Refreshments will be served.

There will be no "Service", so people do not need to be there at any
certain time. We are planning on everybody visiting, talking and
reminiscing about Anne.
